The great thing about
doing side hustles to generate extra income is that you can hustle on your own
terms. The more hard work, time, and
creative effort you put in, the more extra money you can make. You can hustle as little or as much as you
want, whenever you want. It’s your extra
money, and you can choose how you want to spend it. Instead of focusing on what ideas don’t apply to you, try focusing
on different side hustle ideas that you can implement to work for your
situation.
Welcome to September, another
new month! Our 2.5-month-old son and our
dog have been keeping the both of us very busy.
It’s not easy being new parents, but we are trying to enjoy every moment
of it. Our dog Abby has been adjusting
well to our son. She’s very gentle and
genuinely curious around him.
Anyways, here’s our
monthly summary of side income that we have generated in the previous month of August.

On 8.4, I redeemed 14,208
Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards miles (mostly converted from Chase Ultimate
Rewards points) to earn a free

Monthly Totals:
Our side hustles
increased slightly in August.
We saved $219.40 on award travel with our
Southwest Rapid Rewards miles
We earned $150.26 in
cash back
We earned $10 worth
of Amazon gift certificates from Swagbucks
We earned $12 in
cash from paid surveys
I earned $825 from my side job teaching at the
local university
We earned $430
from rental income
All of this totals $1,646.66 from our side hustles for the month of July.
A
big chunk of this past month’s side hustle income came from me doing more part
time work. It’s great because I really
enjoy teaching and find the work fulfilling.
My teaching hours are flexible and I only do 4-hour shifts. Is there something that you enjoy doing that
can also help you hustle on the side for extra income?
